ok what makes me think that i do have OCD is that i have a obsessive thoughts and i have sever compulsions.
my obsessive thoughts are sexual in nature and never give me peace. ive had them as far back as i can remember, to my young childhood. ive always wanted to get rid of them, i feel like they take up a lot of my brain power and time. as for my compulsions, i have one in particular that stands out. you know those tags that come on clothes and linens? i have to have one in my hands, or at the very least near me at all times. if i dont i start to get anxious and panic. i rub them to make certain sounds or to enjoy the feeling, but im constantly rubbing them. its become very difficult. it drives my bf absolutely insane when i do, and its led me to start stealing pother people tags from their clothes and linens, which bothers them. another compulsion that i have is finger nail biting, which can interfere with some things. for instance, while writing this post, a mind consuming task that keeps me busy, ive stopped about 3 times to bite my nails. 4. there are other things, such as my obsession with washing my face, but those arent as serious. what makes me think that i dont have OCD though, is that i dont exhibit the usual signs... im very messy... and well, thats it. im, afraid that im taking a few random habits and twisting them to fit into my idea of what ocd should be, in order to get attention. i should also mention that ive taken the sanity score twice now and both times the OCD part has come out over 75% a 3rd parties veiw would be greatly appreciated

i would love too but i cant really afford it at this time. i definitely want to though. ive been to therapy once and it was awesome, i know its not quite the same thing but it sealed the deal for me. i cant wait to discuss my concerns with a professional. but until then im just looking on here. it cant hurt to be educated.

Kristi, since psych problems and their origins are often NOT logical anyway, it makes perfect sense to me that some people with OCD can have tiny islands of obsessions or compulsions and still maintain a "sloppy" or relaxed lifestyle in many other aspects of their lives. Best of luck to you !

Finding an OCD or mental health support group in your area might help connect you with less expensive or free therapy resources in your community.
